We make some effort to make yokadi windows compliant but it is still not 
complete.

Readline is available through pyreadline - a pure python readline 
implementation. It is not fully equivalent to Unix readline with it does the 
job for basic stuff.

Huh ? Strange, this does not create a readonly file on Unix... Strange. I don't 
have any windows here to test for now. I'll dig it.

Yes. We have an experimental branch named "windows" that include a windows 
compliant yokadi daemon (thanks to Marc-Antoine). It is a work in progress and 
need some test but all standard functionnality are availables.
